Heads up to anyone using facebook or insta: you'll receive a notification about your data being used to train AIs. The opt out process is deliberately convoluted and you have to fill out a form to object. This is what I wrote in mine, and the objection was immediately registered as successful, so feel free to copy.
Masto reply bores, this is not a post on which to fart out your opinions about Meta or AI or whatever. So don't. I'm sharing helpful info for people who need it, not for you.
@stavvers I get the impression they're approving pretty much everybody who fills it out right now, but yeah, your text is a good call
(already got mine sorted, keywords included "highly sensitive PII" and "Cambridge Analytica")
@ehurtley @stavvers @regordane Well yes, give-or-take other jurisdictions with similar legislation.
It's Meta, they're doing the bare minimum to avoid getting sued to pieces not actually treating anybody with any respect.
@ehurtley @stavvers @regordane @flippac
I am in the U.S. I don't recall being offered a warning or a chance to stop Meta from training from my data, on either FB or IG.
Just now, when I asked #Facebook "How do I stop Facebook from training AI from my data?" its first suggestion was to delete my account.
@AnneTheWriter1 @ehurtley @stavvers @regordane I take it you're not in California?
(It'll be interesting to see what else the second suggestion disables: in the EU they're straight up not allowed to do that unless they literally need the data in question to provide it - and that's need the way you need a shipping address to ship a package and a billing address to bill someone's credit/debit card)
@flippac @ehurtley @stavvers @regordane
I'm in far-suburban Chicago, Illinois.
@AnneTheWriter1 @stavvers @regordane @flippac Aha. It looks like it's all "posts" that were posted by third party apps many years in the past. A bunch of empty posts "from Netflix", a bunch of photo posts by now-long-dead-service EyeFi.
SIGH
Deleting those now.
@AnneTheWriter1 @ehurtley @stavvers @regordane @flippac in fairness, it's an EXCELLENT suggestion.
FB/Meta has been a cesspool of dezinfo and hatred, since early 2010s.
@tanyakaroli @Jo2sn @flippac @stavvers @Kjaerulv
As a notification via desktop and app. But I got an email confirmation that my objection would be honored, so that''s on the record.
@Jo2sn @regordane @flippac @stavvers @Kjaerulv
You want to worry the drop down country lists in many apps don't list the country where I live, Luxembourg. However I guess it's even worse for residents of Liechtenstein!
@interpipes @stavvers thank you for this thread, especially that second part quoting ICO rules at them.
Also triple thank you for putting it all in the alt text so I can easily plagiarize.
I have been preparing to leave FB within the coming month. Now there's more reason to leave it and now Instagram sooner.
This is the text i wrote in Swedish and got approved instantly.
Jag invänder emot att min data används i syfte att träna AI. Mina bilder är personliga och innehåller avbildningar av mitt ansikte kopplat till mitt namn. Detta data kunde användas för att skapa deepfake avbildningar av mig om det ingick i ett AI dataset. Jag även invänder emot att mina bildtexter används inom detta dataset eftersom de innehåller personliga information som det inte vore lämpligt att ha med.
